    Hi Mr Garcia,

    I know this is an old post, but there is an alternative.  You can use the reporter writer report for emailing provided you have the Adobe PDF Writer.  If your emailing from one specific client, this may be a viable solution as you will need to purchase a license for Adobe PDF Writer, and when I last checked, it was about $100 per user license.

    Hi,

    In order to use the email feature, you must use the Word templates. You cannot use Report Writer reports for this. You can print a Report Writer report to the window, and then send it to email as a pdf. (if you have Adobe Standard). The changes you made in Report Writer will need to be made to the Word template. If you have added additional fields, you need to print the standard report to an XML file and then attach that XML source to the Word template. For more information, take a look at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2011/05/05/keeping-word-templates-in-synch-with-report-writer/.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
